A Terrarium does need some water, not like a pool of water or full on water element, but just enough that the plants do not wilt. Otherwise your Terrarium will just die.

But what is a reptile tank with a small river or pond being only about 10% water
so what would be the generic term for a semi-self sustaining environment in a container? would i just say 'rium'?
Very good explanation of different setup's. 👍 It feels kind of cruel to keep this kind of animals in an empty space. To have a good matching environment should be a must. Iv seen a lot of snake, gecko, and Lizards only have a green carpet and a tree branch nothing more. I don't know if it is for easier cleaning. Feels kind of cruel.

Honestly it's easier to "clean" bioactive because you actually don't have to!
If I have plants and insects would that be a terrarium or vivarium?
Cats enjoy a solarium… with a doorman 😻
oh my goodness I watched a lot of videos bout Terrarium and most of it has animals inside.. I prefer not to put animals in jars tho cos it feels like they don't have freedom Haha. If I want I prefer a baby animal to put in jars so that they get used to the place. Thank u so much for this! Now I know the difference!!

Never heared about this soil and plants only terrarium. But the most annoing thing seems to be this vivarium movie. 🤨
Im building a riparium, with a size of my wall. In the past i was thinking about adding worms to the earth partial, because its better for the watertransport in the earth and the waste ... But im affraid somewhere that it will become a plague on one point because they also dont really have an natural thing that kills them, like a bird... Did you ever had a plague? How would you prevent it if i did add worms... Keep in mind that the earth part is 80cm x 60cm x 60 cm (length x width x hight)
@PetsinaPawd

I've kept worms in a couple of my bioactive enclosures and never had an issue. However these were land only enclosures. My concern for you would be having them escape into the water area and die there.
Well, you got something wrong. Vivarium is an enclosure containing living organisms such as plants, fish, reptiles, birds, frogs, insects... etc. So vivarium can be aquatic (aquarium), bordering between land and water (riparium, ), swamp (paludarium), land (terrarium), and for birds (aviary). Then you can divide terrariums in etc. insectariums (for insects (you can even divide that even more to formicarium (for ants) etc.)) or herpetarium/reptilarium (for reptiles). A lot of people get this wrong.

Paludarium
A terrarium isn't just plant only they can have springtails or isopods which are micro fauna that eat leaf litter and things like that. You also didn't mention that a terrarium can either be closed or open but in my opinion its not really a terrarium if it isn't sealed.

Not completely accurate, a vivarium would encompass all of these types of things (which are all types of vivaria). Terrariums are terrestrial vivariums and can either be plants-only, include plants and animals, or just animals (some of which can have specialized names like herpetariums for reptiles and amphibians). For example a formicarium (or ant farm) is usually an animal-only terrarium. Aquariums are aquatic vivariums and can be either animals, plants and animals, or plants-only. Paludarium and ripariums are hybrids between the two; paludariums can have a wide variety water to land ratio. Good examples would be a turtle enclosure with a land feature where they can bask (majority water), or a rainforest paludarium with an aquatic feature (majority land). A riparium is mainly aquatic but is attempting to recreate the environment of a shoreline or wetland and includes marginal plants. It's a essential an aquarium meant to house semi-aquatic plants. Any sort of man-made enclosure meant to mimic an environment for living things is a vivarium by definition.

By 3:00 I realized these names inherited the Insanity of the Human Species... So from now on I'll just refer to each set up as Tank with (Insert Name Here). 'Oh what's This? A tank with fish in it, Oh what's that? A Tank with a frog in it.

Would an aquarium with plastic plants and rocks still be a vivarium :P People have different definitions/descriptions for these words, and sometimes it can feel like splitting hairs. Since vivarium literally means "place of life", you could make the argument that if an enclosure was specifically made to home some form if life, it's a vivarium, though it seems the term is most often used as a general term for enclosures for animals of general distinctions (aquariums contain animals that live under water) or more specific distinctions (enclosures for only or mainly reptiles, ants, birds, etc.). Riparium is a contentious one because it represents the marginal zone where water meets land, and tends to be defined more by the plants rather than the ratio of water to dry land. In other words, I could have a shallow aquarium and add specific reed grasses and animals to make it a biotope of a specific marginal area with no dry land, and it could still be thought of as a riparium.
@PetsinaPawd

Totally agree that words have flexibility to them and just because they're defined in one way does not make that the only working definition! Although I would still consider an aquarium, an aquarium. :) You're also right about ripariums being descriptive of the plant life as well but in its simplest form it's easiest to understand as a water ratio for most beginners.
If riparium is something of a meme when your arium dies I'll be sad
Centapedes are preditors. I think you meant millipedes.

I have 2 turtles, they are sliders. They are both as big as my hand and both males. They've been together their whole lives and are both getting close to 6 years old. I want to build an Arium that can house them both but allow them space to be alone. They spend most of their time in water, but like to get out and sun themselves, and/or dry off. The majority of their feces end up in the water. This makes filters work overtime and gets to be a bit costly. I'd like to build something bioactive, but I fear that anything else added to the water will become food, as they're omnivores. Any suggestions of how I can accomplish this goal?
@PetsinaPawd
3 жыл бұрын
Highly suggest something paludarium style! The plants will help the filter with cleaning as well. Watch SerpaDesigns builds he does for his toads and it should help give you some ideas since toads can also be destructive. Good luck!
So technically… Aquarium with fishes isn’t exactly aquarium, but vivarium?

Viv actually derives from the Latin root of Vita or Vivi. Although viva does mean life in modern languages today. The 'a' is also shared with the root 'arium' so I don't include it with the descriptors for clearer explanation purposes so the a does not overlap. i.e. rip, viv, terr, etc.

@@PetsinaPawd Ya but thats the thing, your adding the A to "Rium" Rium is a suffix meaning Place, or Building. It's Not "Arium", it's "Rium". The A is not shared, your mixing the words incorrectly. It's not "Viv" it's "Viva", not Palud" it's "Paluda" your putting the A in the wrong half of the word, in alot of these.
